I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong Chapter 228 192: Ferryman

"What is rebirth without death?"

Tian Lin couldn't grasp the aning of this sentence; he simply had Cui'er and Yu'er on the wooden boat prepare to escape.

As for himself, he looked up towards i Immortal in the high sky.

He saw i Immortal stash a large flag into her Storage Bag, then imdiately pulled out a broad sword.

Standing on a flying sword, holding the broad sword, she plunged towards the direction where the voice emanated from within the fog, disappearing from everyone's sight in a blink.

"Miss, need a ride on the boat?"

In the midst of the fog, the elderly voice of the Ferryman sounded, exceptionally calm.

Outside the fog, Foundation Establishnt Cultivators who were defending this sea area all stood up, looking with so fear towards the fog.

So of them saw the wind lantern amidst the fog, others, even if they did not see it, had already heard the voice of the elderly man in the fog.

Who the elderly man was, no one knew, yet his ability to breach the Tong Family elders' blockade and to 'survive' under the Thunder Power unleashed by i Immortal indicated formidable strength.

Clearly, the Ferryman was not soone i Immortal could handle. At this mont, i Immortal was most likely dead.

"Damn it, need to find a way to remove the Array Flag, escaping is what's most important."

On the other side, a tribute cursed and was already attempting to tear down the Array Flag on the boat.

On the great ship, i Immortal's sword holder angrily voiced, "Follow to rescue the Immortal; those who dare to flee the field will face my ruthless sword!"

But this sword holder was just a maid. Although she possessed Early-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivation, she was not as intimidating as i Immortal.

Tian Lin's gaze at that mont turned towards the Divine Lady Tree at the bow of the boat; the tree was lush and flourishing with hundreds of petals at least.

Looking at this tree full of Enlightennt Tea, how could Tian Lin not be tempted?

Since i Immortal was dead, that Divine Lady Tree—

Suddenly, Tian Lin leapt up from the boat and directly onto the great ship.

On the great ship, i Immortal's sword holder drew her sword and pointed it at Tian Lin standing in front of the Divine Lady Tree, exclaiming, "How audacious, attempting to steal the tree?"

"I'm not stealing the tree, I'm trying to save i Immortal."

Tian Lin stood on the great ship, and from the lofty vantage, saw i Immortal rushing back from the fog as swift as a teor gliding over waves.

To avoid 'misunderstandings', Tian Lin stepped back two steps away from the Divine Lady Tree, then turned towards the side of the boat to address the tribute:

"Tribute, the Array Flag cannot be damaged. If the Array Flag is destroyed, the barrier that was ford with great difficulty will have a gap here. At that ti, the other boats will be caught between two fires."

The tribute was about to persuade Tian Lin to flee with him when he saw i Immortal erge from the fog and quickly fly onto the bow of the ship.

The words coming out of his mouth changed as a result:

"What Tian says makes sense; that's why I was just checking whether the Array Flag was secure. You know, I am an Artifact Refiner, and even though I'm not versed in Arrays, I do have so knowledge."

Their conversation was overheard by i Immortal, who had returned. She was sowhat pale and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, giving a semblance of a smile as she looked at the tribute and Tian Lin above and below on the ship.

Finally, she threw a bag towards Tian Lin, saying:

"Since the two of you are willing to share my worries, I'm relieved. Go on, take these items, and lure that Ferryman to seek the Great Elder of the Tong Family."

The tribute's face paled, while Tian Lin appeared relatively composed.

He untied the pouch's string and saw cloth wrapped around seven copper coins.

These seven copper coins all bore the inscription 'Souls of the Underworld Currency.'

"i Immortal wants to lure the Ferryman with this money, wonder what kind of Magical Treasure these coins are?"

i Immortal said, "Whether you're human or ghost, as long as you're willing to pay, the Ferryman will turn around and accompany you to anywhere you want to go."

Tian Lin paused and asked her tentatively, "If I ask him to take to the moon, could he do that?"

i Immortal, thinking Tian Lin was joking, scoffed, "The moon is too far; I'm afraid you won't be able to pay. Maybe the underworld would be closer."

Tian Lin knew this was extrely risky, but without much hesitation, he stored the bag of copper coins into his Storage Bag.

The tribute on the small boat looked sowhat pallid, barely able to restrain his trembling voice as he asked i Immortal,

"Since it works both for humans and ghosts, as long as soone pays, the Ferryman can be persuaded to turn around. Why not let the sword holder and the Sword Slave go?"

The tribute shook his head vigorously like a rattle-drum, retreating two steps back and clutching his sword holder, "You go and face death for my sake."

On the great ship, a chill flashed in i Immortal's eyes as she reached for the plum blossoms on the Divine Lady Tree.

Tian Lin, knowing she could use the plum blossoms to kill, quickly spoke up, "The Ferryman is coming this way; let go et him."

After saying that, Tian Lin turned his head to look at the tribute on the small boat:

"Tribute, if I co back alive this ti, you owe a favor."

In a life-or-death situation, the tribute nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken.

Seeing this, Tian Lin then looked towards the Ferryman in the distance on the great ship.

The so-called Ferryman appeared to be just an ordinary old man poling a boat.

Looking at the bamboo pole in the old man's hand, Tian Lin's mind, however, thought of the Sect Master Yun.

Sect Master Yun had bid farewell to Elder Xiao in the Yao Yue Sect, crossing south to find a way out for Yulong Continent.

Yet in the end, it turned out to be the ferryman of the painter's boat who appeared at the Immortal Sinking Pond, an occurrence as strange as they co.

Tian Lin estimated that this ferryman, in life, must have possessed the cultivation of at least the late-stage Foundation Establishnt.

Add to that the boat beneath his feet and the bamboo pole in his hand, and he might not be much weaker than a Golden Core expert.

"What are you staring at? Why haven't you boarded the boat yet?"

As the ferryman rowed the boat closer, i Immortal spoke up.

Tian Lin did not want to take risks, but knew that i Immortal was decisive in killing, and the Tribute cultivator would not sacrifice himself for others.

He couldn't escape if he wanted to; stepping on the edge of the boat, he leapt aboard as the distant ferryman stopped rowing and called out, "Young hero, wish to board the boat?"

Tian Lin remained silent for a mont, just staring straight at the ferryman.

The ferryman was dressed in a black robe, his face a dark shade of blue-green. His eyes were nothing but two dark holes, occasionally oozing pus.

The stench of decay emanated from him, clearly indicating the ferryman's body had long since rotted away.

"How much for the passage, boatman?"

"Young hero, wish to board the boat?"

The ferryman's response was irrelevant. From the large boat where i Immortal was, her voice rang out, "You could talk to this dead man for a year, and he'd have only those few sentences to say.

If you don't want to die, give him the money and get on the boat before he pulls the bamboo pole out of the sea."

i Immortal's words sent a chill down Tian Lin's spine as he indeed saw the ferryman drawing the bamboo pole out of the water.

Just as the bamboo pole was about to leave the water's surface, Tian Lin pulled out a copper coin and tossed it into the ferryman's pouch.

The clear sound of the 'copper coin' clinking resounded in the ferryman's pouch. The ferryman put the bamboo pole back into the sea and waited for Tian Lin to board before, without looking back, asking, "Young hero, where to?"

Tian Lin nonchalantly pointed south; he rembered that the Great Elder and others had gone to the south.

If seven copper coins could get him to the Great Elder, then perhaps, as i Immortal had said, he might be saved.

But Tian Lin guessed that seven copper coins might not be enough to get him to the Great Elder.

He had decided that if three copper coins were not enough to find the Great Elder, then he would use the other four copper coins to return the sa way, coming back to find i Immortal for another solution.

At that ti, either i Immortal would drive the ferryman away herself, or she would pay again for him to seek out the Great Elder.

In any case, if he was to die, he intended to drag i Immortal down with him.

Following Tian Lin's direction, the ferryman plunged his bamboo pole deep into the sea, and the small boat imdiately shot forward.

At the mont, Tian Lin was watching i Immortal and the others, and the Foundation Establishnt Cultivators in line with i Immortal were also watching Tian Lin.

The ferryman rowed quickly, and these people soon lost sight of Tian Lin, who, along with the ferryman, entered the thick fog.

"Sir, did you co from the south with those roaming souls?"

"What's there on the southern sea?"

"Is there an underworld in this world?"

The small boat was not large, and there was nothing placed on it.

Tian Lin's attention, apart from contemplating how to escape, was also half-heartedly trying to engage the ferryman in conversation.

It was a pity that the ferryman was exactly as i Immortal had described – with just those couple of sentences on repeat, completely a mindless undead.

Tian Lin stopped trying to converse with the ferryman, but his attention was drawn to a wooden token at the ferryman's waist.

The back of the token's pattern was unclear, but the front clearly had the characters 'Ferryman'.

This waist token seed to be an identity token, but it was unclear who had made it.

Tian Lin looked up at the silhouette of the ferryman's back, and suddenly, he heard the ferryman, with his back turned, say, "Young hero, wish to board the boat?"

It was only when a figure of a roaming soul erged from the fog that Tian Lin realized the ferryman wasn't talking to him.

The roaming soul ignored the ferryman, who, after asking twice, received no response.

As the roaming soul was about to pass by the ferryman's boat, the ferryman's bamboo pole had already been pulled up from beneath the sea and directly pierced through the soul's body.

In an instant, the roaming soul beca a residual soul.

Tian Lin's heart stirred. As the ferryman moved to act against the second roaming soul, he had already taken out a soul-collecting bead.

Fueled by True Qi, the soul-collecting bead efficiently absorbed all the nearby residual souls without waste.

But it was apparent that this place was far from i Immortal and the others, so that the Thunder Power i Immortal had borrowed earlier did not extend to this area.

Thus, there were nurous roaming souls here, forcing the ferryman to take action frequently.

Among the many roaming souls, Tian Lin also spotted two Night Patrol Deities.

But even though these two Night Patrol Deities were powerful, they could not escape the ferryman's bamboo pole.

After using a soul-collecting bead to absorb two Night Patrol Deities' residual souls, Tian Lin's soul-collecting bead felt like it was about to burst, coating his palm in a layer of frost.

Tian Lin then placed the now larger soul-collecting bead into his Storage Bag and took out a new soul-collecting bead to begin absorbing residual souls.

Just as Tian Lin was gleefully taking advantage of the situation, the ferryman who was killing roaming souls and rowing said suddenly, "Young hero, do you still wish to board the boat?"

Tian Lin understood he was being addressed, so he took out another copper coin from his Storage Bag, "Continue heading south for a while."
